a photograph of the artist

My work is a reflection on what moves me. By that, I mean my reaction to news stories, politics and general goings on in the world. I will admit at the moment I appear driven to put brush (or whatever) to canvas, by things that make me angry.

BUT…

All is not lost. I refuse to give up. Now and again, I will discover a spark that lights the way and changes things (temporarily) for the better. (I know, I am a miserable bastard-forgive me).
